Disclaimer: I am not fishing for (or interested in) a way to break or get around the permissions set by an item's legitimate creator.
Disclaimer aside. I have been experimenting with using scripts to rez objects depending on what the user selects in a menu. I am currently using my own animations, objects and so forth, with all of them set as copy.
So, my script rezzes a copy when the user chooses an option from a list. The copy is then removed when it is no longer needed by an llDie (triggered by a timer, or a message from the controlling object).
However, this solution only works with items that have the copy permission set. So, any third party items (especially things like poses or furniture which are generally modify/transfer) cannot be added into the system.
On the one hand this is good, since it means a pleasant challenge for my creative abilities, but, I am wondering if there is some way to rez a no-copy item out of an object's inventory, and then return that object again when it is no longer needed.
I know the MLP system does something like this, and I have seen various thrones and so forth that allow you to add scripted objects to their repertoir. So, how do they do it? Are they rezzing the object, or doing something else that I dont understand?

There is no way to take an in-world object back into an object's inventory.
I would expect that the "expandable" rezzers you've seen require the object to have copy permission.

What Yumi said.
Specifically regarding the MLP, all it rezzes are it's own (copiable) balls, the no-copy animations one adds to the MLP go in the main MLP device and stay there the whole time. The rezzed balls are "disposable" in that they do not themselves contain the animations, they just provide a place to sit that can be moved around and communicate their status with the main device.

Tyan - I have JUST posted a simliar request in the content creation forum!! YES!!! How fabulous would that be for an object to retrieve an original back into inventory? If you ever hear of such a script, please let me know and I will do likewise! xLx |

I thought this might be the case  Oh well. I guess I'll just stick to making everything myself. |
